      Anyone hear video games becoming video streaming games where all that get's to a server is your game controls then you get sent a video stream of you playing the game so you don't need a console or high powered pc just a decent net connection for 1080p video.

        That's Cloud Gaming.

        It was suppose to be a big deal during E3 2009. Microsoft didn't think much of it. But Apple is trying to make it all happen by 2014.

        During the last edition of E3, cloud gaming came back and this is some of what was reported:

        LOS ANGELES - At E3, new gaming company OnLive demoed their new gaming service ahead of the official launch tomorrow. OnLive lets gamers play games without purchasing or installing them on their computers. TechNewsDaily went hands-on.

        OnLive provides a suite of games, over 20 of the latest titles at launch including Borderlands, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, Just Cause 2 and many more. All of these games are available to play without installation or purchase through OnLive's online service.

        The advantage of using OnLive is it let's gamers play games on computers that aren't powerful enough for cutting edge games. And the upcoming micro-console will let them play console games on their TV without a console. The game is installed on OnLive servers, then piped to a gamer's computer via an Internet connection. The player's keyboard or gamepad input is sent back to the servers and the results are then transmitted to the player's computer.

        Stuff to remember: Avoid forums if you're having a bad day.

          Meh I'll just stick with my blackberry and keep my psp for portable gaming. To be honest this doesnt surprise me it seems the natural step forward. hell didnt they try this before? I cant remember the name of the phone (N67 or something?) but it was also a game based phone. Like people have said though this will be very expesnive. However if marketed well I feel that this phone could be a big hit. I assume the phone will have other features such as video, mp3 and enternet just like every other high end phone around these days an what sets it apart is that it will have superior gaming abilities. Then again the phone could be unreliable especially with all this hardware packed into such a small device.

            - Horrible video quality
            - Laaaaaaaaaaaaaag
            - You own your games only as long you keep paying them
            - If/when the company shuts down you lose all your games

            Can't see why anyone would subscribe to them.

              It's just an alternative method and online servers never last forever when newer games come out the older games are are forgotten about until they eventually decide to drop support and close the server that's why I hate games that don't offer a LAN option. Also this is cheaper than buying a game from a store as your not paying publishing and packaging costs, don't get me started on console failures rrod, ylod and bugged firmware updates. I'm sure the video quality can be compressed and scaled back to match your connection speed so it doesn't lag without much overall quality loss. I'll stop now i'm not getting paid for this, i'm indifferent to the current gen gaming anyway. I hate console fan boys/girls.

                The PlayStation Phone
                http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/26/the-playstation-phone/
                It's hard to believe that what we're looking at is real -- but we assure you, the picture above is in fact the PlayStation Phone you've long been waiting for. As we reported back in August, the device you see is headed into the market soon, likely boasting Android 3.0 (aka Gingerbread), along with a custom Sony Marketplace which will allow you to purchase and download games designed for the new platform. The device snapped up top (and in our gallery below) is sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 (a chip similar to the one found in the G2, but 200MHz faster), 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and the screen is in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches. Looking almost identical to the mockup we hit you with this summer, the handset does indeed have a long touchpad in the center which is apparently multitouch, and you can see in the photos that it's still bearing those familiar PlayStation shoulder buttons. For Sony buffs, you'll be interested to know that there's no Memory Stick slot here, but there is support for microSD cards. The particular model in these shots is still in prototyping mode. As such, the unit doesn't have a custom skin (not even SE's Timescape design seen on the Xperia devices), and is said to be rather buggy. We're digging into more facts as we speak, but it's likely that much of what we reported earlier is still accurate, and though the device could still be headed for a 2010 release, 2011 is looking much more realistic. Still, there's a lot of time between now and the holidays... so keep your fingers crossed! %Gallery-106052% %Gallery-106050%




                Voila.

                  Exclusive: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (PlayStation Phone) preview
                  http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/26/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-playstation-phone-preview/
                  Oh yes. After all the unbearable teasing since we unveiled the first ever photos of the PlayStation Phone, we've finally managed to get hold of the real deal for an in-depth preview. Honestly, we couldn't wait any longer with this thing floating around in China; we'd otherwise have to wait until MWC, where we expect the phone to be launched as the "Xperia Play" (and we shall refer to this name henceforth). Before you pop the cork for us, do bear in mind that what we're seeing here is subject to changes, so don't be alarmed by any missing features or exposed cables in our preview. When you're ready, head right past the break to find out what Sony Ericsson's cooking up. %Gallery-115003%

                    Hope this doesn't undermine the NGP/PSP2 in any way, considering that they're similar. Well actually, then again this seems more focused on being an actual phone, unless Sony are going for a two-pronged assault on the handheld market.
                    See you in hell.
